1.5 oz rye (Emerald Giant overproof)
0.5oz each of mezcal, Aperol, and Ancho Reyes (rojo)
1 oz lemon juice
Squirt of agave
Shake all with ice, and I would say serve up in a coupe but it's summer, still 90f at 19:00. So I'm having it on ice, and just enjoying the hot weather.
Variation on a Devil's Soul. It would benefit from a float of the Heirloom Pineapple Amaro (and being served up), but had enough oddball ingredients I didn't want to add another. But if you have it, go for it.
Good but overpowered. I've never had Rojo to compare, but the Verde is strong stuff. I'll drop it to half next time.
The original recipe calls for St. Germain, Aperol & Averna with the rye and mezcal but I was having trouble wrapping my mind around the St Germain in there.
Ancho Verde with mezcal, if you have Cynar try the Pas De Loup, the verde is really good in that one, I made it with Del Maguey Chichicapa and liked it a lot.
I'll make this again. Reminded me of a spiced up Division Bell. The mezcal tended to overpower the rye, which takes some doing.

Remember the code of conduct, keep it nice. In terms of cocktails- specific etiquette that might be different from other communities:
Mentioning your blog, insta, website, book or bar is allowed, yes. For now at least, we do allow self-promotion. If it gets out of hand this might change.
A good post with a drink you don't like is still a good post! Try not to conflate the drink and the post or poster. If someone has a relevant title, gorgeous photo and clearly formatted recipe of what you consider a truly terrible drink, a comment is more appropriate than a downvote.
On that topic: Polite critique/reviews of drinks (or posts, images, etc.) is allowed here. Encouraged , even. It's a good tool for improving your drinks and content. Really, just be nice.

That's really interesting! I may have to tweak the recipe a bit for my tastes, but I'm not sure how yet.
I used Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style for the whiskey, and I only had verde Ancho Reyes.
